Allure Beauty Box [April 2024]

 

Hello~

I know every time I make a new post, it's always been a while and I promise I'll start blogging more.

Blogging has really taken a back seat to short videos in the social media world but since I'm not very good at video taking, blogging is it for me as a past time.

I tend to only start blogging again when I'm bored or have a stroke of inspiration and who knows which one will hit first.

So, sorry for my super sporadic posting and posting topics, haha.

Anyways~ I recently subscribed to the Allure beauty box after unsubscribing to Ipsy and boxy charm. The main thing that lured me was the first box that I received which had a YSL lip balm in it. That's not this one, haha.

I actually skipped a month in-between my first box and this one but I've been pretty happy with the box so far.

☆International Make-up Swaps? ☆

In all the years that I've been interested in make-up and stalking gurus on youtube and in their blogs, (it's been about 2-3 years ;D ) I've seen most if not all participate in make-up swaps with people in different countries.

I would LOVE to do this with people. Mainly in asian countries and the UK because all of them have amazing products that I want to try out but don't have access to.

Of course, I could buy some products online...but that doesn't seem as fun.

I already know the basics of the whole swapping thing; I just don't know where to find other people interested in being my..swapping counterpart?

Also, swapping already used products isn't my thing. Now, I don't mind giving away products that I've tried out and don't like, I would just prefer to swap out brand new stuff.


If any one knows of any sites that can connect you with people, or people setting up blog swaps and stuff, PLEASE let me know. :3

"Simple" Sensitive skincare experts rant. Yeah.

So, a while ago I received samples from Simple of their "Refreshing Facial Wash Gel" and the "Cleansing Facial Wipes". I have about 3-5 sample tubes of the gel and around 6 samples packs of the wipes.

I'll start with the gel.
Here's a picture of the product.

This is the description directly from their main site

Our Products

Our Refreshing Facial Wash Gel leaves your skin thoroughly cleansed and revived, plus it's a perfect blend of our purest possible skin loving ingredients with an added vitamin. 

SIMPLE GOODNESS 1 ADDED VITAMIN    PRO-VITAMIN B5 known to help restore, soften and smooth NO SOAP NON Drying NO DYESNO ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES NO HARSH IRRITANTS to upset skin    Dermatologist tested    Noncomedogenic    Hypoallergenic"
It's supposed to be the UK's number 1 skincare company...yeah...
To put it nicely. I broke out. Heavily. It's supposed to be hypoallergenic, has no harsh ingredients etc, etc. But I broke out after washing my face with this. It went away pretty quickly so I wasn't too upset. Except for the fact that I know have tons of samples from them that I can't use. x__x

What's weird to me is, this has never happened before. I normally don't react to products...the last time I did was when I found out I was allergic to skin so soft yearrrrsss ago.

Moving along

This is what the wipes look like. I used them two nights ago and the morning after, my face was covered in hives, red and swollen.

I am NEVER using these products again. I don't know what's in it that could have caused this but it's horrible. The redness has yet to go away and it makes me sad.

Still irks me that out of all the products I've subjected my face to...a hypoallergenic one is the thing that makes me break out...

end rant.
